Completed in 1963, 505 East 79 St rises 19 stories over New York. Public records put it at 210 units and 260,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $53.8M, and assessed for tax at $24.2M. In the 56 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,200 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 620 of its 1,200 records, fully 52%, fall under that one heading. Permit (349) and violation (87) trail well behind. 28 violations stand open against it today.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 52, with a site energy-use intensity of 75.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,299 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 52% inspection, 56 years of accumulation, a parcel of New York — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$53.8M of New York, written across 1,200 government filings.
